Yes, it took me right to the app period when I tried to download. It it said it was not compatible with this version of windows unless I disengage their s protection system. Which I guess stops you from loading apps that are not okay in their system in their store. It says that you have to disengage their s system, which stops you from downloading apps That they consider unverified. Do you know if this is a problem I had the same problem with chrome.
